As the climate continues to change, there are going to be certain places that get even drier, which means that the plants will be subject to even more heat and sunlight. Plants need water, which they will get a lot less of, per National Geographic, and their protective measures will not be able to keep them safe from those rays. On one hand, there is more carbon dioxide in the air, which plants like, but the resulting harsh conditions wipe out any benefits.
It's not only the plants that are going to suffer — people are going to be in bad shape, too. That's because they won't be able to get staple crops like wheat, corn, coffee, and peaches, just to name a few, according to NPR. As climate change gets worse, then there are going to be colder parts of the world and there will be warmer parts ... which will remain warm for longer periods of time, which can be dangerous for the plants.
Can there be something that can save the plants? One solution, as mentioned by NASA, is to plant a lot more trees, which could then possibly mitigate the growing amount of carbon dioxide. It's going to take a lot of work and cooperation, but if it does work, then many plants could be kept from dying.
